California is the number one specialty crop grower in the country, growing nearly half of the nation’s vegetables & over three-quarters of the country’s fruits & nuts.

Americans already paid the price for Trump’s illegal war through months of higher costs. Meanwhile, Iran stands to receive hundreds of billions in post-war relief. Iran gets money back. You don't. It’s despicable. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/w...

A well-deserved honor to Bemidji Mayor Jorge Prince for his exceptional leadership after last summer's devastating storm. He helped guide the city through a difficult time and brought out the very best in a community that came together to rebuild. https://ow.ly/e2Ca50ZeLul

Trump’s war in Iran needs to end, but the weak deal he negotiated does it in a way that leaves us worse off than before. Giving billions of dollars of funding and sanctions relief to Iran, the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, is unacceptable and will make America and our allies less safe.

These threats from the Israeli national security minister against millions of Lebanese civilians are completely unacceptable. He is talking about millions of innocent people, and the families and friends of thousands of Michiganders. Shameful.

The unhinged and insane conspiracy theory that medication abortion is a threat to our waterways is no longer just a fringe right fever dream—it's now being pushed by Republican leaders. Let's be clear: Mifepristone is safe and effective.

One of my proudest moments in the Senate was when I helped to make Juneteenth a federal holiday. Today, I’m thinking back to the journey of passing that legislation five years ago alongside Dr. Opal Lee. We owe today to Ms. Lee’s determination.

On Juneteenth, we recognize the injustice of slavery and the lasting harm it caused, we honor the resilience of Black Americans in the face of centuries of oppression, and recommit to pursuing justice for all.

This administration is again rewarding loyalty to the president over every other consideration, including security, experience, and the proper use of taxpayers dollars. The public deserves answers.

The Trump Administration awarded over $22 million in federal contracts to a firm that organized the January 6th rally Trump used to incite the insurrection.

It’s simpler: blocking low-cost clean energy diverts electric grids to more expensive fossil plants, raising costs but driving billions of dollars from consumers’ pockets to Trump’s big corrupt fossil fuel donors. www.sanluisobispo.com/opinion/edit...

Juneteenth is one of the most consequential days in our nation’s history. I was honored to attend the Black Heritage Trail of NH’s Juneteenth Celebration to commemorate those who fought against the horror of slavery and recommit ourselves to the continual fight to foster a more equal nation.

On Juneteenth we reflect on America’s history of slavery and what it has meant for our country. It is also a day to look forward and recommit ourselves to the fight for civil rights, voting rights, and social and economic justice.

Democrats should make 2 key points. 1) The illegal war in Iran has been a blunder & we are worse off than before it started. 2) There’s no good way out of a bad war. We should reject the talking points of those who cheered it on & want to drag us back into it. When you're in a hole, stop digging.

Today is a day to celebrate the strength, liberation, and freedom of Black Americans. It’s also a day to reflect on our country’s painful history of slavery. Today and every day, we must continue to build a more perfect, more equal, more just country. Happy Juneteenth, everyone!

Freedom delayed is still freedom worth honoring. Today we remember the enslaved Americans who waited more than two years to learn they were free, and the people who never stopped fighting to make that freedom real. Happy Juneteenth, Arizona!

We build the next generation of leaders by providing young people with opportunity. That's why I support programs like the State Department’s Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange. It was great to meet with two NM students who completed the program and hear about their experience.

This #Juneteenth I’m thinking of Ona Judge, who fled to New Hampshire 230 years ago after being enslaved at Mount Vernon. Her story embodies the Live Free or Die spirit and serves as a powerful reminder that the work of equality remains unfinished. www.wmur.com/article/mura...

Trump tore up Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, started an illegal and foolish war, and then signed a much less effective agreement. So much for ‘the art of the deal.’

Happy Juneteenth! 161 years ago today, enslaved people in Galveston, Texas learned of their freedom, thereby ending slavery in the United States two years after President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. Today and always, let's recommit to fighting for equality for all.

Today, on Juneteenth, America marks the end of slavery. It was a real and dark part of our history. But Trump wants to rewrite that history and even honor Confederate traitors. It's a disgrace. America is stronger when we confront our history and work to be better.

Juneteenth marks the day that the last slaves in the United States were freed. Today, we remember the struggles and hard-won fights of previous generations against racism, bigotry, and injustice. We must also recognize the significant work that remains in the fight for equality.

Very revealing. Republican senators who were AWOL regarding their constitutional duties around STARTING the war against Iran all of a sudden demand that Congress play a role in STOPPING the war. A whole lot of warmongering going on.

Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a historic day when the last enslaved Americans were finally informed of their emancipation. Let’s honor this day by carrying forward the work of abolitionists, Civil Rights leaders, and those who continue to fight for equality and opportunity for every American.
